Sky Sports team mentioning how on earth they pick the 15 man squad from this side, YJB and the guys in the Test Team. Be interesting to see how we fit everybody in but not a bad predicament to be in.
I’m the biggest Roy fan going but I don’t think he’s going to get a sniff come the World Cup.
Its easy, if Stokes makes himself available and is fit to bowl at least a part of his allocation.
Bairstow, Duckett, Root, Brook, Buttler, Stokes, Ali, Curran, Rashid, Wood, Archer plus Woakes, Topley, Malan/Hales and a reserve spinner, either Ahmed or more likely Dawson.
Becomes immensely difficult if Stokes stays retired, or cannot bowl. Then you are stuck either banking on Ali plus Root for a full 10 (and any cover our injury prone quicks require) or playing the extra bowler and batting Sam at seven, which feels a spot too high for him.
